Bill Whelan's production and arranging credits include, among others, U2, Van Morrison and Kate Bush. His work with Irish traditional music and musicians has occupied much of his time since 1980 when he was a member of the legendary "Planxty". He also produced records for many folk artists including, Andy Irvine, Patrick Street, Stockton's Wing, Davy Spillane and the Bulgarian/Irish band, East Wind.

His compositional work in film includes Lamb starring Liam Neeson, the award-winning At The Cinema Palace, the emotive score for the film Some Mother's Son and Dancing At Lughnasa starring Meryl Streep. The Riverdance video and dance phenomenon produced in 1994 was the project that truly projected him to world fame. Bill was honoured with a 1997 Grammy Award when the Riverdance record was named the 'Best Musical Show Album'.
